[egui-winit] Move to wl-clipboard-rs

[daxpedda]

egui-winit currently uses smithay-clipboard, which isn't being maintained anymore: see Smithay/smithay-clipboard#44.

wl-clipboard-rs is a still maintained alternative, e.g. used by arboard.

I just saw that egui-winit actually uses arboard, but because arboard doesn't support Wayland except in terminals, smithay-clipboard was used instead: #1613.

this is just non-sense, if you can see it has a working release with all the bugs fixed. It won't get updates to support images, but that's about it.

The wl-clibpoard-rs is not the crate that should be used for windowing apps, it's for clipboard managers and uses priv protocols, which egui is clearly not.

If you want more on clipboard, I'd suggest researching a winit based solution.

Good to know, thank you.

[..], if you can see it has a working release with all the bugs fixed.

At the time of writing it was not, your last statement was:

I'm not that interested in this crate given that I'll try to move ecosystem away from it and copypasta crate all together to direct handling in winit & client-toolkit.

Kinda implies that the crate won't be updated and it wasn't for a long time.

it's just on a bug fix mode.
